Vintage Bathing Beauty

I am squeaking in another card today, one with very little stamping, but a fun image using some Graphic45 paper I had. First, it uses the TechnoStamper sketch 223 for this week:

and is also for the Sugar Creek Hollow’s challenge 13, which is fashion, and (this is stretching it a bit) lastly, for City Crafter’s challenge 111, which is travel, and you need a ticket!! So here we go:

This card is larger than usual, about 6 1/2 by 4 1/4, to accomodate my bathing beauty! I cut some mini posters from the paper, which is where I got the “transportion” – see the Union Castle Line???? I also cut two banners from vellum cardstock on which to stamp my sentiment, then layered them to get the double ends, plus it helps give a little more opacity to the vellum but still allowing the background to show through a bit.

And my ticket is from my great-aunt’s estate….she never threw anything away, and she did a lot of traveling, so I saved some of the goodies I found while helping my dad clean out her house:

Lovely, I would have never recognized this as a card by you! I love the way you used all the different images, and the tag is a perfect finishing touch. Fun. Thanks so much for playing along with my sketch challenge this week.

I just love the vintage feel of your card! Beautiful! Your little girl is just DARLING!!! We have all boys in my family! She is way too cute!! You are sooo lucky!!Thanks for joining us at Sugar Creek Hollow!HugsHeather
